A couple of years ago I was introduced to the music of Mark W. Lennon through his EP Down the Mountain, so when his latest album popped into my inbox I made a a bee-line for the download link to see what was in store this time around. More of the same wouldn’t have disappointed but I was pleasantly surprised to be listening to a more earthy and eclectic collection of songs, Home of the Wheel takes meandering stroll along the path of American music, stopping along the way to soak up musical sound bites and use them for inspiration and affect – credited in part to the work of producer Marvin Etzioni a former member of the wonderful Lone Justice who’s résumé includes working with Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams.
